THE SOLUTION This coordinated effort resulted in the innovative Modular Protective System (MPS) portable structure, which incorporates an Edwards-designed collapsible truss framework and Avient’s GlasArmor™ ballistic resistant composite panels.
GlasArmor panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites provide excellent ballistic stopping power for the MPS while meeting the requirement of being lightweight and portable.
With our hardware fabrication capabilities and Avient’s knowledge of composite ballistic protection technology, we were able to create modular systems that reduce time and logistic requirements for our brave soldiers.” 1 https://www.erdc.usace.army.mil/Missions/Military-Engineering/Deployable-Force-Protection-Demo/ To learn more about ballistic resistant solutions from Avient, visit avient.com or click to request a quote.

PFAs which are injected into the polymer melt may be the same as CFAs (i.e.
To achieve a uniform foam distribution and a solid skin, the gas should expand from the inside to the outside of the polymer melt after injection.
In the following section of the barrel, the generated gas should be mainly kept in the solution with the melt being dispersed and homogenized.

Low Dissipation Factor (Df) Material – Our solutions use a base formulation that has a Df value of less than 0.002.
Good Dimensional Stability – Our solutions are formulated to meet dimensional tolerances within +/- 0.2mm.
Better Performance-to-Cost Ratios – Traditionally used materials can cost 30–40% more than a thermoplastic solution at only slightly better performance.
